Comment: Axatilimab (SNDX-6352, formerly UCB-6352) is a humanized anti-CSF-1R antibody. It was initially developed as an alternative therapeutic modality for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) [3]. Axatilimab targets macrophage-mediated inflammation and fibrosis that cause organ damage in GvHD, by blocking CSF-1R activation by either of its ligands (CSF-1 and IL-34).
Peptide sequences from the axatilimab INN entry align with sequences that are claimed in a UCB Biopharma patent originally filed in 2014 [1].
